There is no material reason to believe this. AOL didn't want wrestling on their network.

Just finished episode 1, how many episodes is this? I’m not hating it… I’m sure this was a collective failure but glad to see this has more than just wrestler opinions… first time seeing front office people in one of these. Never knew how the “Nitro” name came to be until this episode.

Side note- who had an easier gig than Miss Elizabeth in NWO? Show up, look scared, never have to wrestle, never have to take a bump, rarely have to talk, collect your money. Must’ve been nice.

I could understand, he was one of the biggest stars in the 90s. Coming off the Montreal Screwjob that happened a month earlier you would think there would've been a better way to book him.

I just heard another Bret shoot ..he brought up Drew Mac...talked the criteria for a great wrestler..look, promo, and wrestling. But its just the way he talks about Michaels and Crippple H..it's hilarious. Pure real comedy.

I mean at the same token, if WCW was a successful business at the time and making money I don't think AOL would've sold it
So it's a little bit of both
Yes they'd didn't really want wrestling but that $60 million loss wasn't really shyt for them. That was fukking pennies

looking at that screenshot, Kimberly Page was so damn fine
she's legitimately one of the all time, best looking women in the business no doubt.

Here we go with Starcade 97'
Eric been on this bullsh*t narrative for 30 years now, that Sting "wasn't all there" ... the bottom line is Hulk poo-poo'd the finish, even after he was told about it 10 months in advance. Hulk simply did not wanna do the clean finish, even after Eric admitted it had to be a clean finish and nothing else, that final day Hulk still wasn't with it and they had to come up with that garbage finish to soothe Hulk's ego.
Yeah, Erics glazing of Hulk is ridiculous.
They are the main culprits but Eric’s ego and Hulk monster ego won’t ever admit it.
The Bash At The Beach episode of DSOTR is a key indicator of how out of touch they both were.
Starcade is just one piece of evidence that confirms how they got down and why morale and fandom started falloff.

Episode one was good. Hogan politicking that sting finish really fukked shyt up. Sting knew it was coming too. They tried to play it like he had cold feet or seemed disinterested but in reality he knew he was about to be a victim
